posted on 2023-05-20, 22:10 authored by Jenny KaldorJenny Kaldor, Gostin, LO, Monahan, JT, Gottschalk, KThe Lancet-O'Neill Institute/Georgetown University Commission on Global Health and Law published its report on the Legal Determinants of Health in 2019. The term 'legal determinants of health' draws attention to the power of law to influence upstream social and economic influences on population health. In this article, we introduce the Commission, including its background and rationale, set out its methodology, summarize its key findings and recommendations and reflect on its impact since publication. We also look to the future, making suggestions as to how the global health community can make the best use of the Commission's momentum in relation to using law and legal tools to advance population health.
